Mannheimer stated that state prosecutors can pursue charges against federal officials. The statements were met with criticism, with some calling the comments dangerous and expressing concerns about a shift toward a police state.

The United States seized a tanker ship attempting to evade US forces after departing Venezuelan waters, according to officials. The operation, executed before dawn by Marines and sailors in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, targeted a vessel suspected of carrying embargoed oil, as stated by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The ship, sailing under a false flag and previously sanctioned for involvement in Russian oil shipments, was allegedly trying to breach a US naval blockade in the Caribbean. This seizure follows the earlier seizure of two other tankers linked to Venezuelan oil exports in separate operations, including the Russian-flagged Marinera, which was falsely flying the flag of Guyana.

The proposal stems from Canada’s interest in diversifying defense contracts away from the United States, and was initially raised by French President Emmanuel Macron. Eutelsat emphasizes “sovereign capacity,” offering Canada control over its satellite services, a key selling point given reports of service disruptions from Elon Musk’s Starlink. This contrasts with Starlink’s recent controversies and the potential influence of a single individual over crucial defense communications.
